The hotel's location was fantastic. It was a short walk to major attractions, including a beautiful mosque. The breakfast buffet offered many options. The front desk staff answered all my questions.
There was no shower mat, and the tiles made the floor slippery.

The hotel sat close to major attractions. i could walk to the blue mosque and hagia sophia easily. staff were friendly. They provided helpful information. the breakfast buffet had a lovely variety of local foods. The flavors really shone through.
the elevator remained out of service. this meant climbing several flights of stairs to reach our room. it caused some inconvenience at the end of the day.

mixed feelings about my stay
no air conditioning limited breakfast
The location was very convenient for visiting cultural sites. Hagia sofia was within easy walking distance.
I found the lack of air conditioning quite bothersome. The desk manager mentioned it was only for heating. i had to keep the window open, but it was noisy. also, the breakfast lacked variety. I didn't see any fresh fruit or juice.
